Services & Process

Wilson's handles furniture reupholstery from start to finish, covering sofas, loveseats, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards. The process involves a full teardown of worn fabric, inspection and repair of the underlying frame and webbing, replacement of foam or batting as needed, and careful re-covering with the new material. Fabric selection is part of the service, so customers aren't left sourcing materials on their own. The shop is well-suited for both straightforward recovers and more involved projects like tufted backs or pieces with intricate piping details.

Service Area

Wilson's Upholstery & Fabrics serves Louisville and the broader Jefferson County area. Customers from southern Indiana communities like Jeffersonville and New Albany also cross the river for Louisville-area upholstery services. The shop's Louisville location puts it within reach of most of the metropolitan area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer pickup and delivery for large furniture pieces in Louisville?
Many Louisville upholstery shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, especially for large or heavy items like sofas and sectionals. Ask Wilson's directly about this option when you call for your estimate.
Can Wilson's work on antique furniture without damaging the original frame?
Experienced upholsterers know how to work around delicate frames and original hardware. It's worth mentioning upfront that a piece is an antique so the shop can use appropriate techniques and avoid unnecessary disassembly.
How much does it typically cost to reupholster a dining chair in Louisville?
A single dining chair with a drop-in seat pad usually runs between $50 and $150 depending on fabric choice and condition of the existing foam. Chairs with padded backs or arms cost more because there's significantly more material and labor involved.
What should I do if I only need a small repair, like a torn seam or a loose cushion?
Most shops will handle minor repairs even if you're not doing a full recover. A torn seam or a zipper replacement is a quick job that costs far less than full reupholstery, so it's worth asking.
Are there fabric options that work well for Louisville's humid summers?
Performance fabrics with moisture-resistant treatments are a smart choice for Kentucky's humid climate, especially for pieces near windows or in sun rooms. Ask about solution-dyed acrylics or treated polyester blends that resist fading and mildew.
Can Wilson's match an existing fabric if I want to reupholster only part of a set?
Matching existing upholstery fabric can be tricky, especially if the original material has faded or been discontinued. Your best outcome is usually bringing in a fabric sample from the existing piece so the shop can find the closest available match.
